Arsenal Women Win Champions League

Arsenal Women beat the defending champions to win the Women's Champions League.

At Jose Alvalade Stadium (Portugal), Arsenal defended firmly in the first half. In the 23rd minute, Barca center-back Irene Paredes scored an own goal, but the goal was not recognized for the "Gunners".

In the 70th minute, from Bethany Mead's assist, Stina Blackstenius finished close to the goal, scoring the only goal of the match. In the end, Arsenal won the championship with a minimal victory.

The player who received the most praise in this match was the English team's goalkeeper Domselaar. She had 5 direct saves, including 4 times denying Barca's goals in the second half. This was also the player who received the highest score of the match from Sofascore with 8 points.

Barca and Lyon, Arsenal's final and semi-final defeats, have dominated the Women's Champions League for many years, winning 11 titles in 15 years. Lyon has won five consecutive titles, while Barca have won the last two.

Before the match, few believed Arsenal could win the title. In the final, they also had less possession, fewer passes and fewer shots. However, the difference was on the scoreboard.

Many congratulations were sent to the girls of the Borhamwood team. Someone even joked: "If these girls played for the men's team, we wouldn't have gone empty-handed this season, would we?"

In contrast to their female counterparts, Arsenal's men's team went through the tournament without a trophy. They stopped in the Champions League semi-finals and became Premier League runners-up for the third consecutive time.
